research Hormonal Regulation in Male Androgenetic Alopecia: Sex Hormones and Beyond - Evidence from Recent Genetic Studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research The Clinical Evaluation of Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, and identifying the cause is important for managing associated health risks.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Clinical, Pathophysiologic, and Therapeutic Review
No cure for female pattern hair loss, but various effective treatments exist.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Pharmacological Treatment of Alopecia
Only minoxidil and finasteride are FDA-approved for hair loss, with other treatments available but less effective or with side effects.
research A Mouse Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Mice with human gene experienced hair loss when treated with DHT.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Hirsutism in women often indicates a hormonal imbalance and can be managed with a combination of hormonal treatments and hair removal methods.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Male-Pattern Hair Loss: Comprehensive Identification of the Associated Genes as a Basis for Understanding Pathophysiology
Male-pattern hair loss is largely influenced by genetics, with key genes identified.
research Comparison of Flutamide and Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsutism: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Flutamide is more effective and has fewer side effects than spironolactone for treating hirsutism.
research Medical Treatment of Hirsutism in Women
Treating hirsutism in women often requires a mix of medications and cosmetic methods for best results.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss in Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
Hair loss in women may have causes other than hormones.
research Androgenetic Alopecia And Hair Growth Promotion: Present And Future
Current research explores hair growth drugs, while future research aims for personalized treatments.
research Minoxidil: Mechanisms of Action on Hair Growth
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research Balding Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Contain Higher Levels of Androgen Receptors Than Those From Non-Balding Scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effect of Houttuynia Cordata Extract in Cultured Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Houttuynia cordata extract may help hair grow by improving cell survival and increasing cell growth.
research Effect of Ultraviolet Light on Topical Minoxidil-Induced Hair Growth in Advanced Male Pattern Baldness
UV light does not significantly affect minoxidil's ability to treat male pattern baldness.
research Intermediate Hair Follicles: A New, More Clinically Relevant Model for Hair Growth Investigations
Intermediate hair follicles are a better model for studying hair growth and testing hair loss treatments.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effect and Action Mechanism of Chrysanthemum Zawadskii Extract
Chrysanthemum zawadskii extract may help treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and affecting growth factors.
research Safety and Efficacy of Rice Bran Supercritical CO2 Extract for Hair Growth in Androgenic Alopecia: A 16-Week Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Rice Bran Supercritical CO2 Extract significantly increased hair density and diameter in male alopecia patients without any side effects.
research Therapeutic Strategy for Hair Regeneration: Hair Cycle Activation, Niche Environment Modulation, Wound-Induced Follicle Neogenesis, and Stem Cell Engineering
The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
research Clinical Updates in Hair
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Drug Reactions Affecting Hair: Diagnosis
Some drugs can cause hair loss, change hair color and shape, or increase hair growth, and treatment may involve stopping the drug or using specific hair growth treatments.
